"My three sons have always been fond of martial arts. Today, with devout hearts, they wish to become your disciples and learn some martial arts. We hope the Master will open your magnanimous heart, steer the vessel of mercy, and instruct them. They will surely repay you with wealth enough to replenish a city."
"This..."
Xuanzang couldn't help feeling somewhat troubled, partly because King Hua had personally come to request his help, making it hard for Xuanzang to refuse. However, accepting the request would mean his three disciples would have to teach the princes martial arts, potentially causing delays to their journey. Hence his hesitation.
Seeing this, King Hua hurriedly said, "I hope the Elder will consent. Surely you wouldn't force me, a king, to kneel down and beg you."
"I dare not! I dare not!"
Xuanzang quickly replied, "It's just that we are on our way to the Western Heaven Seeking Scriptures, and I'm afraid we cannot stay long in Yuhua State City."
